Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

Lin Shaowen played with Ah Huang for a while and then returned to the yard.

After all, he didn't know when Li Xiaoyue would come back, and it would be bad if she knocked on the door and he wasn't there.

After making a cup of hot tea, he lay on the tatami in the study and played Tetris.

When he was having fun, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Shaowen got up and ran to the door.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Gu Huaiwei, Director Wang and Li Xiaoyue standing at the door.

"Old Lin, what do you mean?" Director Wang scolded him, "My daughter just came back, she hasn't even returned home yet, but she came to your place to look for you right away... That's fine, but you're keeping her for dinner? Are you trying to make things difficult for me and your brother-in-law?"

"No, I didn't know she hadn't returned yet." Lin Shaowen said with a big smile, "How about... you and your brother-in-law come to my house for a drink?"

"Go to hell."

Director Wang scolded with a smile, "Li Xiaoyue's grandfather is still waiting at home. He said a few days ago that she was coming back, and asked your brother-in-law and I to go to the train station to see her every day... If he finds out that she's not coming home, you better be careful."

"Don't worry."

Lin Shaowen immediately said, "Xiaoyue, go back with your mother first, and come to the teacher's house when you have time. I'll ask your teacher's wife to make you something delicious."

"Yeah."

Li Xiaoyue responded with a red face.

"Director Wang, if you go to visit the old man, you can help me pack some things. It's almost the New Year." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"You are a good man."

Director Wang said in a slightly slower tone, "Let's go into the yard and talk..."

"Okay."

Lin Shaowen immediately made way.

When the door was closed, the lively Yan sisters and Jiang Chunxia felt a little regretful.

If they could go into the yard, they could also have something good with Director Wang.

Study.

Director Wang said in a low voice while warming himself by the fire, "Your brother-in-law went to Changping for an inspection a few days ago. Your two teachers asked him to bring a message... Don't send things every month. They can't eat so much."

"Two old men, two old ladies... There are no children around to take care of them. What can I do if I don't look after them?" Lin Shaowen sighed.

"That's what I said." Director Wang sighed, "I'm going to Changping tomorrow to see... Do you want to bring anything to your teacher? I'll take it for you, don't go by yourself, it's too sensitive."

Now the storm is gradually subsiding, and it looks like it will end in one or two years. But it's also the last crazy moment for those people, so you have to be careful about everything.

"Okay, come over tomorrow morning and prepare your things." Lin Shaowen nodded with a smile, "By the way... Xiaoyue said she wants to work in a steel rolling mill, what do you think?"

Speaking of "work", Li Xiaoyue immediately became nervous.

She hasn't communicated with her parents yet.

Unexpectedly, Director Wang just glanced at her, and then said calmly, "She is not a child, this is her own business, she can work wherever she wants."

"Otherwise, why do people say Director Wang is open-minded." Lin Shaowen gave a thumbs up.

"Go to hell."

Director Wang laughed and scolded, "Old Lin, I warn you, Xiaoyue is a straightforward girl, easy to offend people, if she gets into trouble at the steel mill, don't come to complain."

"Mom..."

Li Xiaoyue shouted unwillingly.

"That's impossible." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "I can't even protect my own students at the steel mill, then my ten years of hard work are in vain."

"Oh, Director Lin is so domineering." Gu Huaiwei joked.

"That's not true." Director Wang also laughed, "Old Lin is not very old, but he protects his children just like those old guys..."

Everyone laughed for a while.

Lin Shaowen got two pieces of beef from the kitchen, and got some fruits in the corner of the study. After putting them in two cloth bags, he handed them to Director Wang and Gu Huaiwei.

"Well, what are you doing for me?" Gu Huaiwei asked in surprise.

"It is said that whoever sees it gets a share. I asked you to come with me. If you go back empty-handed, I am afraid that you will start cursing when you leave the yard." Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"Go to hell, am I that kind of person?"

Gu Huaiwei rolled her eyes at him, but still reached out to take it.

"Okay, since you are not going to eat dinner, let's go. It's past four o'clock and it's time for dinner."

Lin Shaowen chuckled, "Xiaoyue, report to the steel mill tomorrow morning. Don't be late."

"Yes, teacher."

Li Xiaoyue nodded seriously.

"Old Lin, thank you very much."

Director Wang reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "If you have time, you should go to see my old man. He often talks about you."

"No problem, I will go to check him out after the holiday."

Lin Shaowen said seriously, "It's cold now, you must keep warm... Don'tI won't go if you ask me to attend the funeral."

"Fuck you, you can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Director Wang scolded, "The old man gave you the Browning, but he also got a Type 64. I'll tell him when I get back..."

"Don't worry, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lin Shaowen's forehead was sweating, and Li Erzhuo was a bit fierce.

If he really got angry, he would come to cause trouble.

"It's good to be afraid." Director Wang said softly, "Old Lin, thank you."

"We have been in revolutionary friendship for nearly ten years, and you are still telling me this? "

Lin Shaowen laughed and scolded, and sent the three people to the gate of the compound.

The women in the yard looked at the things in their hands eagerly. Although they didn't know what was in them, such a bag, even if it was corn flour, could last for a long time.

After Director Wang and the others walked away, Jia Zhang spoke in a weird tone.

"Lin Shaowen, the elderly in this yard didn't see you taking care of them, but you took care of outsiders instead."

"What do you mean by outsiders?"

Lin Shaowen pouted and said, "They are my students. They came to see me the first time they came back from other places. I can't let them go back empty-handed, right?"

"What about Director Wang and Director Gu?" Jiang Chunxia asked curiously, "They are not your students, right? Aren't they carrying things too?"

"Director Wang is the mother of my student. Do you think giving that thing to her is the same as giving it to my student?" Lin Shaowen laughed.

"Wow." "

The women in the yard were all shocked.

Especially the second and third aunts, they really didn't know that Li Xiaoyue was Director Wang's daughter.

"Uncle, you are wrong." The third aunt licked her old face and said, "Your student is so pretty and has a good family background... Why don't you introduce her to your nephew?"

"What do you mean introduce her to your nephew?" The second aunt said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you just say that the girl didn't love herself and came to find a man alone..."

"Second aunt, don't frame me, I didn't say that." The third aunt said anxiously.

"Dare to do it but not to take responsibility, I bah..."

The second aunt spit.
